The Holocaust Commemoration Through Music and Sounds in Terezín and Auschwitz-Birkenau after 1989
Original language description
The article characterizes the importance of sound and music in public events commemorating the Holocaust in Poland and the Czech Republic after 1989. Two events were selected: the Terezín commemoration and the celebration of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The reconstruction of official ceremonies is based on materials collected during archival research, as well as on audiovisual documentation and interviews. The main methodological framework has been soundscape theory and memory studies, supplemented by some concepts such as “listening in the grey zone” or “the affective kitsch of the Holocaust”. Included in the article are passages reporting on what music looked like in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and the Terezín ghetto during the Holocaust and the literature on it. The two main chapters of the thesis analyse how the repertoire performed during the ceremonial events and the concerts organised within them evolved. The sound and musical character of the festivities is evaluated in relation to the changes in the collective memory of the Holocaust in the Czech Republic and Poland.
